VB,Access,SQL Data controlor hard code?

I'm trying to create a VB front end for an access database of book titles. I have a text box that accepts SQL code and searchs the Database and displays the correct records in a DB Grid. I would like to be able to run one regular SQL Query

where year is a differnet value entered in a seperate text box. I guess my immediate question is can I set up this SQL statement in code somewhere instead of entering it in the text box. Then I would like to enter a value (year variable) that would execute my query for that particular year

The best way of doing this is to create your query right over in Access, in the Query QBE grid. Make Year a parameter. I don't know if you've worked with parameter queries or not, but this is bar far the best way to do it.

Make Year a parameter over in Access. Run the query to make sure that Access asks you for the year each time the query is run. (look up parameter queries in Access).
